Understanding Output Generation

Output Generation will take the previews you see in Bibble and create new image files that you can print, share on the web, or otherwise access in other applications. Since Bibble 5 is a non-destructive image editor, the image adjustments and optimizations you create in Bibble are only accessible to other applications when exported, either individually, or through Bibble 5's powerful Batch Conversion system to industry standard formats like JPEG or TIFF files.

Output Batches process images that are added to the batches applying image conversions, file copying, renaming, or other actions while applying pre-defined settings. Batches are used to perform operations to many images at once, speeding your workflow by simplifying repetitive processes. The following types of Batches are available in Bibble 5:

•

Copy Output Batches take images that are added to the batch, or take images from a pre-defined location, and copy the Master Files to another location accessible from your computer. These batches can apply image or metadata settings, and can optionally include the resulting files in the current Catalog. These batches can optionally delete the original files, thus moving the from one location to another, or can leave the source images intact. These batches can optionally rename the output images.

Bibble 5 comes with several pre-built Image Output Batches to convert your Versions to output images using pre-defined settings. You can customize any of these Batches or make new ones customized to your working style. The following Batches have been created for you:

	File Type & Size	Comments
JPEG Full Size	JPEG Image type, 90% image quality Same Pixel Dimensions as the Master File	Converts to sRGB colorspace. Ideal for printing and final destination usage
JPEG Proof	JPEG Image type, 80% image quality Half Height, Half Width of the Master File	Converts to sRGB colorspace, ideal for sharing on the web
16-bit TIFF	TIFF Image type, with 16 bits-per-pixel color data Same Pixel Dimensions as the Master File	Ideal when exporting images for editing in other applications that support 16-bit images
8-bit TIFF	TIFF Image type, with 8 bits-per-pixel color data Same Pixel Dimensions as the Master File	Ideal when exporting images for editing in other applications that do not support 16-bit images

A Copy Batch does just that - it copies the Master Images added to the batch to a predefined location or locations, optionally renaming the destination files. A Copy batch will copy all Sidecar files that accompany the images added to the batch, ensuring that XMP and other sidecar files are kept together with the original files.

Copy Batches are great for automating backups and for downloading images from camera memory cards.
